Today, the US Supreme Court will hear a case that could dramatically impact how elections for Congress conducted nationwide by handing more power to state legislatures. Justices will consider whether state courts can rely on their state constitutions to strike down politically flawed redistricting maps. This case stems from North Carolina’s Republican-led legislature’s latest attempt to draw U.S. House districts favoring GOP candidates. Those lawmakers argue that the U.S. Constitution gives that power over federal elections to only state legislatures and Congress. We are live OUTSIDE the US Supreme Court breaking down this case and how this decision could impact your ability to vote in the 2024 election.
